2009 HC Holiday Gift Exchange

[Asr]

So I saw the thread Zanth started over at HF and thought hell, why not do our own CD/LP exchange here? I thought for a few seconds about signing up at the HF thread but I would personally much rather exchange with HC-ers over HF-ers.

Luminette ran this last year so I thought I'd continue the trend this year. Anyone unfamiliar with how this works can refer to Zanth's thread at HF: Sign Up! For the 2009 Annual Head-fi Holiday Gift Exchange! - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

I have a lot of my Paula Abdul CDs I would like to share with the gang to help brighten their otherwise mundane lives.

[Duggeh]

[Aimless1]

Count me in as well.

[The Monkey]

I'm so in that I'm...in.

[Torpedo]

I think we should state what we can play: SACD, DVD Audio, CD, or vinyl. That way "Santa" knows what to get without worries. Also, why not extend this to t-shirts as well? I see a lot of people here buying music-related t-shirts, and it would be a nice option as well.

Btw, that head-fi thread is missing one crucial thing: does this remain anonymous, or will people be paired off? I believe that we should keep this a secret santa sorta thing. In order for this to work, there has to be one person choreographing (at random, preferably) who gets who. Each person receives an email stating the name and address of their recipient. That way, you don't know who's sending you something.

Just a thought!

Anyhow, Screaming Oranges: CD, SACD, Vinyl. T-shirt size: Medium.

I'm in like a virgin.

Wait, wut.

EDIT: ASR, just noticed your sig quote.

[boomana]

In, and 1st post updated.

You can work out gift details with your exchange partner after you know who it is. I'll do the pairing off after we hit 11/30. It'd certainly be possible to do this in the Secret Santa method but then everyone would need to PM me their mailing address (for the people I don't already have info for). If you guys are comfortable with that, then why not. Edit: actually, I think we should toss the Secret Santa method. I thought about how to do it and it'd be too complex to coordinate with too many variables that turn it into a guessing game. We'll leave things as-is and folks can PM each other when we have the final list.

[swt61]

Sounds like fun, count me in. Fitz sends me showtunes anyway, but what the heck.

[drp]

I'd like to play too

[guzziguy]

In spite of being burned last year, I'm in.
